Aviation encompasses every aspect relating to mechanized flight and the aircraft industry. It is not just the aircraft themselves that are an integral part of aviation. Companies that manufacture or service aircraft parts, from electro-plating the undercarriages to the onboard toilet cubicle manufacturers are all considered part of the aviation sector.
There is an ongoing debate as to the actual origins of aviation, with many people looking to Leonardo Da Vinci’s diagrams of a crude helicopter being the beginnings of mechanical flight.
